It is presented by Steve Backshall, with Naomi Wilkinson as co-host on Live 'n Deadly, and Barney Harwood as co-host on Natural Born Hunters.

Storm first wrote the script in 1987. He wanted to tell the story of black deaths in custody and chose a thriller format to make the movie as accessible as possible.
The movie was shot on location in Wilcannia over seven weeks. It was the first of five features funded by the Film Finance Corporation's Film Trust Fund.
